Festival A Arte de Ser Migrante
Lisbon, Portugal, April 3-6 2025
From April 3 to 6, 2025, Lisbon hosted the festival A Arte de Ser Migrante, curated by Liliana Azevedo (ISCTE-IUL) and Amandine Desille (a RePlace member). Organized in partnership with the cultural association Largo Residências and supported by CEG-IGOT, among others, the festival explores the intersections of Portuguese migration and artistic practices. Through visual arts, literature, humour, music, and collaborations with journalists and academics, it fosters knowledge production beyond the university setting. It highlights Portuguese migrations’ role in Portugal’s democratic development since the revolution, while providing a space to reflect on contemporary migration experiences and representations. Featuring over 20 guests from Luxembourg, France, Portugal, and Switzerland, the four-day event was free and open to the public.
